High-speed 650-V IGBTs improve switching performance

The expanded 650V XPT IGBT products portfolio offer current ratings from 16 to 200 A. The devices achieve an optimal balance between the turn-off energy loss and on-state voltage, especially in hard-switching applications. They support switching frequencies up to 60 kHz.

The IGBT is made with the proprietary Extreme-light Punch-Through (XPT) technology, and the 3rd generation IGBT process. The devices are avalanche rated and able to withstand short-circuit conditions. They also have square reverse bias safe operating areas (RBSOAs) up to the breakdown voltage of 650 V. They suit snubberless hard-switching designs for inverters, motor drives, PFC circuits, battery chargers, welding machines, and lamp ballasts..
